Chapter 35

After Uno was gone, I walked inside my bedroom and grabbed my phone, dialing Vernon’s number. I pressed the device to my ear after tapping on the call button and not so patiently waiting for him to pick up. “Yo Ash!” he greeted cheerfully, which made me roll my eyes. “Where are you? You said you’re gonna introduce me to your girl today?” “I’m on my way there. See you in ten.” I shrugged even though he couldn’t see me. “Yeah, whatever. Just be here an hour before my class started.” and I cut off the call, without even giving him the chance to reply. I tied my hair up in a ponytail and walked out of my bedroom, but not before sending a last glance at the messy heap of cream-colored sheets of my bed. I shook my head and walked back towards my closet pulling a clean blue sheets and quickly changed it. After I was done, I made my way in the kitchen and was about to open the fridge when I slipped from the spilled water on the floor, hitting my back with a loud thud. “Fuck!” I was about to stand up when I heard a loud knock on the door and I shouted, ”Come in, it’s open!” Vernon opened the door and rushed towards me once he saw me lying on the floor clutching my hip. “What the hell happened?” he asked concernedly, in a voice that was too loud for sensitive ears. “I slipped and fell, what do you think?” I answered as few tears had already gathered in my eyes, involuntarily generated by the sharp pain that spread throughout the area that surrounded my hipbone. Vernon picked me up once I outstretched my arms and he slowly walked towards the living room. He put me down gently and sat beside me on the couch. “Where does is hurt? Does it hurt a lot?” he asked concernedly, pushing a few strands of straight hair that had escaped from my ponytail, before wiping away my tears and leaving comforting pecks on my temples. “My hip, I slammed my hipbone against the ground.” I stammered pathetically. “Do you think it’s broken? Should we go to the hospital?” the worry in his voice didn’t subside, if anything it only became more and more noticeable, which I found adorable. I shook my head and replied softly with a no. “I’m sorry Vernon but I don’t think I can go with you.” I said apologetically. He smiled. “I’ts okay Ash, I’ll just call her and cancel our date.” I shook my head. “No, Vernon. You should at least go and meet her. She might think I’m a spoiled brat baby because I let you took care of me instead of going on a date with her.” “She isn’t like that. She’s a nice girl, Ash.” He leaned his back on the couch. “And you’re still a baby, my baby.” He wrapped his hand around my shoulder and pulled me to kiss my temple. “Thank you.” I leaned my head on his shoulder and gave him a grateful smile. “Please bring me inside my room before you go.” “Sure.” “And please, don’t forget to lock the door.” . . . . . When Vernon was gone, I slowly stepped down from the bed and began undressing in front of my full-length mirror, just so that I could observe my injured hipbone. Sure enough, a wide purple spot covered the entire area, clashing with my otherwise flawless skin. I gently laid my fingers onto my hipbone, hissing in pain at the faintest touch. “Bloody hell.” I picked up my clothes and threw them in the laundry basket, then stepped into the bathroom to wash my hands. My mind wandered to the one and only Uno, hoping he’s not with Kate right now. My next destination was the tub. I need a hot bath to soothe my aching muscles. I still have thirty minutes to prepare for the school but I don’t think I could make it with my condition like this. I let the water run and added some bath salts and bubbles. As I waited for the tub to fill, I removed my make-up, brushed my teeth again and gargled my mouth with mouthwash. I finally stepped into the wide tub and let the almost scalding water enveloped my body, soothing every single tense muscles and all of my nerves. I fell into a state of pure relaxation, so much that I found myself unwittingly caressing my body with the image of Uno’s hands behind my closed lids. I wonder what he would do if he saw me like this. I bet he would forget about his shy and stuttering ass. He would only care about touching me and getting off. With those thoughts in mind, one hand trailed down my stomach and stopped between my legs. I need to kiss him, I want to feel his lips against mine. Oh, but his tongue, I need it to replace my hand. I know he’ll be amazing in bed, I just know it. I can just feel his hands holding my hips as I ride him. I released a loud moan once I reached my climax, extremely surprised at how fast it all happened and how intense it had been. That was the reason enough for me to want him even more. I cut my bath short, stepped out of the tub, letting the water go down the drain. I then slipped inside my shower stall and grabbed a strawberry scented wash, which I poured onto my pink sponge to cleanse my body. Once every inch of my skin was clean and covered with bubbles, I rinsed off the sponge and put it back in its place, before moving my focus to my hair. I gently rubbed my scalp with my favorite shampoo and later let the cold water rinse my long hair and cascade my dainty form. I stepped out and wiped myself dry, then put my hair up in a towel and walked into my room naked, only to get shocked and screamed out loud because Uno was sitting on my bed with a smirk on his face.
